This problem comes and goes. Right turn signal clicks real fast some times. When I get out to check things, all fine. The problem goes away.

Hmmmm

What's happening?

Usually a rapid signal is indication of a bad/burnt out bulb. Is it on one side or both sides at the same time? If its on one side only, id replace your indicator bulb and clean your connecting harness up. Also look for frayed/broken wires that may be tripping it here and there.

^^^^ what he said
Either a bad bulb, or ground
More than likely a bulb, when you check it, move it a bit , it works. Then hit a bump etc it starts it's dance

:) I think ~Casper~ is playing games & wants you to check all bulbs & contacts/sockets for corrosion !
You must be registered for see images attach

Fine emery cloth /clean contacts into sockets, especially the tiny front right #168 side markers.
My Bulb was still good, contact bad.
Casper may like the fog or moisture getting into housings.
Look for for any moisture present inside the housings or seals.
I found tiny cracks fixed by silicone.

Directions blink fast when one is out.

Look at the bulb is the filament intact? give it a little shake. If it looks good clean the contacts in the socket. scratch it with a screwdriver and spray it with electronic cleaner. Still a problem replace the socket their available online for less than 10 bucks. The sockets get very hot because the bulbs are filament type. You can buy direct Led replacements.

LED replacements 99% of the time require a resistor. I had LED's in my truck for some time and the truck thought they were burnt out due to how little power they draw.

I put LED's in an 02 Liberty and they just plugged right in. I have them in the tail lights and the side markers

I meant for turn signals, my truck thought they were burned out and would click rapidly. For brake lights and markers they will be fine.

And a liberty may not click rapidly with LED turn signals, never used LED's in the liberty.

Of course they plug in but try using them for turn signals and you get the quick flash everytime , even if only say one front and the rear is the old style, still give you the quick flash
